Be careful as you travel. Stay home if you need to. But we are having community worship tomorrow morning at 10:10am. Several of our church members are still without power. Check on your friends and neighbors and serve them! CATCH THIS: we will have a special worship service next Wednesday evening at 7pm. More info on Sunday. Here are some prayer needs: Please pray for Frances Johnson and her family. Her father, Frank Harris, passed away early Friday morning. She is staying with her mom and is answering her cell phone. Her address is 2631 John Baker Road, Fieldale, VA 24089. Chester Rumley's father, James Armstrong, funeral has been moved to Monday at 11am at Oak Hill in Bassett. Visitation is at 10 that morning.

He hasn't been to church in a while. Please pray for him and contact him. His address is 9 S&L Court, Collinsville, VA 24078 Richard Holland is still fighting cancer and having a tough time. His power went out last night as many people's is or was. Our folks have helped them get a generator and space heaters. Pass on this info to other Community members.

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.

Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
